CASEIN
plastic is both an insulator and a conductor that offers unique benefits for
Swallow knitting needles. They benefit from both the warmth and comfort of plastic
needles combined with the non-static feature of metal needles.

Insulators
made from chemical thermoplastic products such as Polystyrene, ABS, PVC and
Cellulose Acetate holds electrostatic charges on the surface of the material
but CASEIN Plastic doesn’t.

CASEIN
Plastics are not created through any petrochemical process. Water is the secret
ingredient in the CASEIN Plastic. Water acts as a conductor. Static charges
will dissipate into the water in the same way as with metal products.

The
benefit of the CASEIN Plastic knitting needles is that when knitting, fibers
in the yarn will not split from each other and cause “fluffy knitting” as it
would with all other plastic needles that build up static charge.

Q&A

Question

How can you
find out if your plastic knitting needles are genuine CASEIN plastics?

Answer

Rub
a needle vigorously on an item of clothing. The resultant charge on the needle
can be demonstrated to attract neutral pieces of tissue paper for example. If
your needles are genuine CASEIN plastics, they will carry
no static charge and therefore will not attract the tissue paper.
